FREE food and drink as Doncaster bingo hall reopens to the public after four months

To celebrate the big day, Buzz Bingo will be offering a free tea or coffee and a sausage or bacon breakfast roll between 10-11am.

It comes as research from the brand revealed that four in ten pensioners haven’t seen or socialised with friends face-to-face in over ten months; almost three quarters (73 per cent) of over 65s feel much safer now people have had the vaccine and 57 per cent are excited to get back to their normal hobbies; over 65s describe their local bingo clubs as a place for friends to meet (39 per cent) and a ‘community hub’ (25 per cent).

Not only that, but Buzz Bingo clubs across the country have also invited some of their most loyal customers down to celebrate reopening by offering them the chance to formally cut the ribbon on the club on the 17th.
